Video Poker Software

Video Poker is a popular game, both in real life and on computer screens, and it's one of the few gambling-style games that can be more skill than luck, offering rewards for players willing to study and learn successful strategies and techniques.

Video Poker has been a staple on computer screens for many years, and it's easy to see why. Unlike regular Poker, Video Poker is meant to be played solo. It has very few rules, so can be picked up in just a few minutes, and games are very quick – perfect for short breaks between real work.

There are lots of Video Poker games available, typically only varying only in how much multimedia razzle-dazzle is packed into the experience. Given the simple rules and scoring, the only place to improve is with better graphics, fancier animations, and wilder sounds. Whether all the bells and whistles are worthwhile or not is a matter for your own taste. Personally, I appreciate games on the lean-and-mean end of the scale – games with simple, addictive gameplay, whose authors haven't gone overboard with with animation and sound.
